Despite the negative comments the idea behind this video is incredibly important and overlooked. Many people including myself forget such basic concepts such as bait twist and hook exposure. This idea is relevant for all types of cat-fishing too.
Thanks chad, I have always used spoiled shrimp or liver just had some shad laying around that I got while fishing up at bear lake and thought I would give it a try I will see how they like it out here tomorrow.
Great video!!! My wife and I often review your educational videos before headin out. We always catch another great tip no matter how many times we watch. Keep posting and thank you for taking the time. we've really learned a lot from you!!!
wish we lived closer, i'd be glad to help you out. i think i've got it, i was just concerned that someone without as much exper. would have a harder time.......thanks and keep'm come'n.........
been fishing all my life for big cats I'm 25 largest cat I've caught is about 15 lbs tell me what can I do to catch my 50 lbs cat I've always used chicken liver so if I go to using shad would I have better luck on my big cat?
I was using J hooks last night and missed some big bites. Headed out to buy some circle hooks and to find a good source for shad since they are only catch and release here.
This is more of a general circle hook question, but can you rig a strip (fillet) of cut bait on circle hook? Is it at simple as just hooking it once and letting it hang? Or is it better to hook it, bring it to the top (near the eye of the hook) and then hook it again near the bottom? Thanks!
You can but typically best to only fish with trebles if you have to. Check out the T3 Triple Threat Catfish Hooks ruclips.net/video/34-rdNRxrHM/видео.html
I've used shad a few times and had absolutely no luck. In my expirience cut bluegill, redear, and sunfish, except the green sunfish, will catch blues, bullheads, and large channels. Flatheads prefer them alive. I've heard the green sunfish work too i've just never had any luck with them. Beware of gar, turtles, and cottonmouths as they also love this bait and can become quite annoying.
Man, couldn't see anything you were doing. Half the time your hands were out of the frame & the rest of the time your hands were blocking so the viewer saw nothing.
if you keep practicing sooner than later you will become a masterbaitor
Thanks for the pointers
Thanks
good info will do that for now on makes all the sense in the world.

No matter what kind of cut bait i use i always run the hook through the eyes. Its worked for me so far and have been doing it that way for years now.

What size treble hook for cut bait or cut shad
I want to see u hook some big cut bait with the double hook rig to see how u position the stinger hook
Would 8/0 circle hooks and offset be perfect size for blue ? Or is that to big ?
+Sturgeon Outdoors depends on the size bait you're using and how big the blues are

Can’t see anything
Sorry, old video
chad, we couldn't see exactly how you were hooking the shad. you need a little different camera angle....
Couldn’t see because your hands were blocking the view.
Sorry! One of these days I'm going to redo it.
cant see how u do >"
Great info video poor can't see what you're doing
You bad mother fisher. I cannot see what you are doing.
